The mayor of Peachland would like to see health officials be more transparent on the COVID-19 pandemic here in the Okanagan.
"I get that they don't want personal information shared, but I would like to know if there are outbreaks in Peachland, if there are outbreaks in West Kelowna, if there are outbreaks at department stores that we are going to to get groceries," Mayor Cindy Fortin said. "Because... It'll really get home the message that this isn't just happening in some abstract area, this is happening in your own community."
Fortin says it was encouraging to see Interior Health released details yesterday on several foreign workers at Bylands Nurseries who are now in quarantine after contracting the coronavirus.
